	Journal of San Diego History
		The nationality of Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo (João Rodrigues Cabrilho as he is called in Portuguese) has usually been readily accepted as having been Portuguese; however, an analysis of sixteenth and seventeenth century manuscripts and imprints, as well as modern works, tends to indicate the contrary.
		This latter action earned Rodríguez Cabrillo the position of being one of the conquistadores of Guatemala, and, on 12 August 1524, he was received by the cabildo of Santiago de Guatemala as a resident of that city.
		Be that as it may, the single mention by Herrera that Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo was Portuguese has served as the sole cornerstone upon which historians have based their conclusions concerning his nationality, nations have built monuments, and a multitude of place names have been given.
